Mannequin

"Mother, there's got to be a better way. Please, gods. Please help me find it."

"[introducing herself] My name is Ema Hesire, but you can call me Emmy."

"[to Jonathan, coming to life] When you were making me, didn't you feel a certain inspiration? Almost like your hands were moved by force not of this world? You made this body so that I could come to life!"

"Tonight, we're gonna do something special, something that this store has never seen before!"

"You've got good hands. I liked the way they felt when you were putting me together."

"[looking at a stereo system playing] Where do they hide all the musicians?"

"[to his boss] I'm fired, pick up my paycheck on the way out, never come back..."

"[seeing Mannequin Emmy in a store window] It's you! I wanted to take you home, but they wouldn't let me. You know you're the first thing I've created in a really long time that made me feel like an artist."

"I must be losing my mind. I guess all artists fall in love with their work, but you just seem so special."

"[on the phone] Mom, lemme ask you, did I ever do anything really strange as a child? Is there any history of insanity in the family?"

"Why don't we stick to good old-fashioned hand tools for the time being, okay?"

"I'm not the same guy I used to be. I finally found a place where I belong."

"[introducing himself] Hollywood. Hollywood Montrose. Ooh! Doesn't it just sing!"

"[to Jonathan] At least, she'll never tell you that your hips are too fat."

"Diets don't work! It's those jelly doughnuts. They call to me in the middle of the night: "Hollywood! Hollywood! Come and get me, Hollywood!" I can't stay away from them. It's like you and women's dressing rooms."

"Rumor Control has it that the board wants to fire your little behind. You let me in there at those so-and-sos. I'll straighten them out, tout de suite. How can they think of firing you?"

"It's obvious to this country girl that you're an A-number one creative freak. Imagine pretending you're a stock boy when you're a major artiste. I am so jealous."

"You know I would never bother you when you're getting a piece of wood, but this is muy importante. Your Hollywood needs help. I need your creative muse."

"[to Jonathan] Please. Listen, I pride myself on being able to size up a job applicant and see just what kind of executive potential he has. I have just the job for you."

"[at the board room] We would all love to know what possessed Switcher to create such a window display. Did you see those crowds gaping on the sidewalks? It's an embarrassment!"

"What arrogance! That worm of a stock boy has created an affront to the dignity of this store. I'll have it taken down immediately and make sure that lunatic never works in this town again."

"Well, you must lead a charmed life. It was all I could do to save your skin in there. No thanks are necessary, Switcher!"

"[to Felix] You people that work at night scare me."

"[to himself] I've put my future in the hands of a vegetable."

"Claire Timkin: Mr. Richards, this store has never been more successful, and it's all due to Jonathan Switcher. I don't care if he puts a rubber glove on his head and runs naked around the store screaming: "Hi, I'm a squid!""

"Roxie Shield: [notices Jonathan with Emmy, suddenly surprised] Jonathan, you're riding around town with a mannequin on the back of your motorcycle! What is wrong with this picture?!"

"Captain Felix Maxwell: [after Emmy, as a mannequin, has flipped off him and Mr. Richards] Enough of this surveillance crap! Captain Felix Maxwell takes this from no mannequin!"

"Jonathan Switcher loved talking to his work, but he never expected it to talk back. Now his life's heading in a different direction."

"Sometimes life is strange and wonderful... he's strange and she's wonderful. She may be a mannequin, but he's no dummy."

"Just because Jonathan Switcher has fallen in love with a piece of wood, it doesn't make him a dummy."

"Some guys have all the luck!"

"When she comes to life, anything can happen!"
